Installation procedure and troubleshooting of NetSkate Visualizer for FreeBSD users is as follows:

1) Install Java Plug-in Into Your Web Browser
This section offers you technical information for installing JAVA Plug-in into your web browser.
Quick Start Guide --- http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/ja/quick_start.html
JRE1.3 Installation Procedure --- http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/ja/jre/install-solaris-re.html
Java-Plugin Setting Procedure --- http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/ja/install-solaris.html

a. Download the JDK package from the site http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html.
b. Place the file, j2sdk-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin, at /usr/ports/distfiles.
c. Install the plug-in as follows.
   # cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk13
   # make install

d. Path Setting is required as follows.
   set path=(/usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.1/bin $path)

2) Install NetSkate Visualizer
This section offers you technical information for installing NetSkate Visualizer.
   # mount /cdrom
   cd /cdrom/FreeBSD
   sh ./install.sh

3) "How can I run NetSkate Visualizer client?"
This section assists you to make NetSkate Visualizer client run without any problem.
a. Run Server Manager using the following command.
   cd NetSkate-Directory
   ./ServerManager

b. Run NetSkate Visualizer using the following command.
#we highly recommend you to use the appletviewer to run NetSkate Visualizer!
   cd NetSkate
   appletviewer ./netskateapplet.html


4) The error messages ‘user.home read can't save initial settings’,‘querePrintJob can't print’,‘can't use cut/copy/paste’ are displayed. Is this a java related problem?
Since NetSkate Visualizer has been developed using Java’s applet technology, the application prevents unauthorized updates to the system. To validate the above mentioned function, use policy tool (distributed by Sun Microsystems, included in J2SE). Refer to the manual for use and settings.


5) Network map generation isn’t going well
To generate detailed network maps we recommend setting SNMP for network equipment (it is more effective if the router is set to SNMP during setup).


6) What is a community?
It is something like a password. Most of the network equipments connected to the network support SNMP (a type of network management protocol), which provides information, such as network traffic. This allows any user to access this type of information. To limit the people who can access this, communities are set for network equipment.
